Midnight church. Pretty much a pitch black night, no artificial lighting for miles. 20+ second exposure.

That's a timed exposure.

We are lucky if we can get a peak at just a few planets and bright objects due to light pollution.

A common kestrel eats a mouse or mole (difficult to see). It sat on a willow tree 15 m away from our house, and I did not dare to open the door to our balcony afraid that it would fly away so shot through the window (hence not the best quality). I also shot a short video.

Done:

Taken with a Panasonic GX-9 with PanaLeica 100-400 mm @ 400 mm and cutted.

Great images, but not a mole -- it appears to have a tail in the first photo (pre-evisceration, I think...).
Maybe a vole (if they have voles in Europe?)

We saw our first kestrel(s) here almost two weeks ago -- early for northern New England. No pictures yet, though.

I think this osprey was attempting to cook his McFish w/electricity!

Yes we have voles in Europe (German: Wühlmaus). But our moles also do have short tails. (EDIT: corrected tails)

Yes we have voles in Europe (German: Wühlmaus). But our moles also do have short tales.

zut alors! (or Gott in Himmel, if you prefer)
I did not know that.

New Hampshire Audubon was likewise skeptical -- but Mrs. H is a rockstar birder.

The best group of 5 arrows I ever shot. (Bare bow @ 20 yds). You’l have to take my word for it.

Very cool trees - Eucalypts. edit - for the avoidance of doubt, this is not photoshopped but a thing that happens from time to time because of some things that occor which are beyond my ability to explain.

Church built in 1142 - 881 years ago - in a village called "Coustouges" in the South of France...
Long time ago the cemeteries where built next to the churches... In the foreground a medieval cemetery...
